A slanted sans with smooth, rounded construction and largely geometric curves. Strokes are even and steady, with softly tapered joins and clean terminals that keep counters open and shapes legible. Uppercase forms feel straightforward and compact, while lowercase characters are more playful and slightly varied in proportion, with single-storey a and g and a curved, left-hooking y that adds motion. Numerals follow the same streamlined, rounded logic and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Works well for branding, headlines, and short-to-medium passages where a modern, friendly italic voice is desired. The open counters and steady stroke weight make it a strong choice for UI labels, product packaging, and marketing copy that benefits from motion and emphasis. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a more neutral upright sans in editorial or web layouts.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with an energetic forward lean that suggests speed and momentum without feeling aggressive. Its rounded forms and open shapes give it a friendly, casual voice suited to modern interfaces and upbeat branding.
Designed to deliver a contemporary sans look with built-in emphasis through a consistent italic slant, combining geometric clarity with softened, approachable curves. The intent appears to be versatility across display and interface contexts while maintaining an energetic, modern personality.
The italic angle is consistent across the set, creating a cohesive rhythm in text. Round letters like O and Q are smooth and near-circular, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) are crisp and stable, balancing the softer curves. Letterspacing appears comfortable for display and short text, with a lively texture created by the slant and the varied lowercase silhouettes.
